Four men arrested in New Jersey drug bust

Police often investigate drug related crimes in hopes of finding out who
might be dealing the drugs to certain geographic areas. Over the last
month, police have arrested four people in the Bergen County and North
Jersey area for drug dealing related charges. A report said the police
also seized over $40,000 worth of cocaine during their arrests and subsequent
investigations.

Police searched some of the people's homes that were arrested, reportedly
finding more cocaine that what police alleged they found on the men. The
men are now being held in Bergen County jail where they will await court
appearances and trial. The investigation will likely continue as police
and prosecutors work to build a case against the men.

Because these investigations are often lengthy and full of detailed, one-sided
police reports, it might be wise for the person arrested and charged with
a crime to understand their rights. Speaking with an experienced criminal
defense attorney might be a wise decision. They can help the person evaluate
evidence and understand their rights. While the investigation is ongoing,
police might continue to question the people who are charged. An attorney
can help the person protect their rights while being questioned by authorities.

Many times drug charges can result in lengthy jail or prison sentences,
fines, and a damaged reputation. If someone commits a drug crime, they
might also have difficulty finding employment and housing after they serve
their sentence.
